If you plan to see The Hobbit, this is one book
you MUST read!
In Bilbo's Journey, Tolkien scholar Joseph Pearce guides you through each chapter of The Hobbit, unpacking the Christian meaning and symbolism embedded throughout J.R.R. Tolkien's classic novel.
Joseph Pearce takes you beyond the dragons, dwarves, and elves so you can discover how Bilbo’s quest to find and slay the dragon is also our journey. He'll show you how the perils Bilbo faces are our own perils, and how his ultimate objective should be our objective, too.
Bilbo’s journey is one of self-sacrifice out of love for others, and we should learn from his complete abandonment to Providence and grace.
By reading Bilbo’s Journey, you’ll not only develop a much deeper appreciation for The Hobbit, you’ll discover why good Christian literature focuses your mind and soul on what is most important.

The Tripods Attack! is a delightfully inventive novel for teens to adults that re-imagines the famous Catholic author G.K. Chesterton as a young man living in an alternative Edwardian age of steam-driven wonders.
Sixteen-year-old Gilbert Chesterton is orphaned and friendless, stuck working a menial job in grimy turn-of-the-century London. Then one night strange lights fill the sky, and a hail of giant meteors crashes into a field outside the city. The next day Gilbert is amazed to find himself hired by a newspaper and rushed out to investigate the scene. Is it a harmless natural phenomenon, or the first wave of a Martian invasion?
Gilbert soon learns he’s not the only one asking that question, and he’s joined by three strangers with their own interest in the fantastic events:
- Herb Wells, journalist for a rival paper. Affable, streetwise, and self-confident, Herb’s only too happy to teach young Gilbert the ways of the world. But when it comes to getting the story (and the fame) he warns it’s every man for himself.
- An enigmatic bearded man known only as the Doctor. He’s suave, cultured, and friendly — maybe too friendly. And he knows things about the cosmic visitors. . .things no ordinary man should know. How much he’s hiding is anybody’s guess.
- Father Brown, a short, mild, middle-aged priest with an extraordinary talent for solving mysteries. Gilbert doesn’t know much about Christ or the Church, but Father Brown will teach him lessons of faith, love, and courage.
The companions fly frantically from danger to danger, battling street thugs from London’s underworld and mechanical creatures from another world. As Gilbert is drawn deeper into the threat of the mysterious tripods, he unveils a sinister conspiracy that may hold the key not only to the fate of mankind, but also to the accident that took his parents’ life. And so with only his friends, his wits, and a tattered holy card to help him, Gilbert must race to save the world — all the while struggling to reconcile his troubling past with his budding faith in God.
